My Travel Website

Checking out the Kreml - Moscow is a cool city!
Hi!

Welcome to my travelling website! I hope you enjoy taking a look around where I've been and what I find special at each and every place. All the pictures featured here are taken by me. I didn't have a digital camera before 2004 so I don't have digital pictures to publish for all the sites I've been. Feel free to contact me and ask questions. I would appreciate if you take time to rate what you like on my site - that way I know what works and what doesn't! :)

These are the sites I have maintained or plan to maintain thoroughly - check out the travelougues for some nice pictures - and please rate my tips ;)

The Bund, Shanghai - overlooking Pudong

Nightlife in Shanghai - The new Sin City

I've spent quite some time in Shanghai learning to know different parts and aspects of the city. It's amazing to see how this city has exploded in activity the last ten years and especially the years after the turn of the millenium. Just amazing! Please see my pages for some nice pictures of the cityline and some of the interesting places you can go...
On an Amazonian riverboat with an Arara on my arm

Check out my Manaus/Amazonas section in Brazil for more information.

Hiking alongside the Lusterfjord in Norway

I've done a lot of hiking and mountain walking in Norway because the nature is fantastically beautiful. Check out my various norwegian trips and recommendations.

Shaking hands with the humanoid Asimo in Tokyo

Greeting a humanoid in Tokyo!

I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Asimo in the Honda Welcome Center, Tokyo, Japan. My first encounter with a genuine humanoid. Some work remains to be done on the artificial intelligence of this one, but the movements are stunningly good!

 Hey, Chris, thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately, the original vines are dead, because of an indigenous bacteria, but I still have plenty of wine from the first few years - stop by and try it! Bill
